Down Syndrome Awareness Events
DSAW hosts eight Down Syndrome Awareness Walks/events each year. These annual walks draw more than 8,000 walkers, volunteers, donors, sponsors, and partners across the state under one collective mission – to raise awareness and promote inclusion, diversity, and acceptance of people with Down syndrome in our communities and in our lives.
Thank you to everyone who attended our 2024 Awareness Walks!
We had so much fun and can’t wait for our 2025 season. Next year’s dates will be announced soon. Check out photos and stories from our 2024 walks below.
